Reaction to Spin the Bottle

I think that watching this video was time very well spent. Teenagers are constantly hit with the media images that drinking is cool and invitations to parties where there's drinking. It's hard to say no to something that all of your friends like to do. Even the negative effects are hyped up. I've had friends brag to me about how they couldn't remember anything from the night before or how bad their hangover was. The thing is, the only people telling us that drinking is bad are those older than us; parents, teachers, etc. Obviously, not a very 'cool' source of what is actually the right information. So this video takes a good approach by giving the audience first-hand accounts of people a little older than us who have gone through the experience. Showing clips of actual commercials after pointing out what the alcohol industries do is also very effective. It makes the viewer see right through the content of the commercial, and for me personally, I become disgusted with it.
